Volume 3, Issue 4 of Microbiome Research Reports is Now Live

We are delighted to announce the release of Volume 3, Issue 4 of Microbiome Research Reports! This issue features a diverse collection of high-quality research articles and reviews, showcasing the latest advancements and innovations in microbiome science.

Review articles:

Possible application of Akkermansia muciniphila in stress management: This review follows a structured methodology, including comprehensive database searches and thematic data analysis, to provide a detailed understanding of the relationship between stress, microbiota, and the therapeutic potential of A. muciniphila.

Biofunctions of Akkermansia muciniphila in Intestinal Diseases: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the research history and current understanding of A. muciniphila, its association with various intestinal-related diseases, and the potential mechanisms behind its effects. This paper also explores the possibilities of leveraging the probiotic enzyme such as the active ingredients of A. muciniphila for the innovative clinical treatment of intestinal-related diseases.

Synergistic vs. complementary synbiotics: the complexity of discriminating synbiotic concepts using a Lactiplantibacillus plantarum exemplary study: This study highlights that assessing the in situ selectivity of synergistic synbiotics in the intestinal tract is challenging due to the confounding effects of the substrate ingredient on the endogenous microbiome, thereby raising doubts about the added value of distinguishing between synergistic and complementary concepts in synbiotics.

Original Research:

Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of Pediococcus acidilactici CCFM6432 in alleviating depression: The research indicates that CCFM6432 may improve brain function by modulating gut microbiota and their mediated immune homeostasis, underscoring its potential as an adjunctive treatment for mental disorders.

Comparative genome analysis of microbial strains marketed for probiotic interventions: an extension of the Integrated Probiotic Database: Research reveals marked inter- and intra-species variations in the genetic makeup associated with the biosynthesis of external structures and bioactive metabolites putatively associated with microbe- and host-microbe interactions.

Gut microbiota prevents small intestinal tumor formation due to bile acids in gnotobiotic mice: The research highlights the importance of diet-microbiota-bile acid interactions in intestinal morphogenesis and tumorigenesis.

The inner elbow skin microbiome contains Lactobacillus among its core taxa and varies with age, season and lifestyle: The research identifies novel factors influencing the inner elbow skin microbiome composition and paves the way for future comparative and intervention studies in skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis.

Secondary analysis reveals gut microbiota differences in patients with Parkinson’s disease and/or cognitive impairment: The research reveals the relationship between gut microbiota, PD, and CI. It finds that CI may aggravate the severity of PD, but it did not drastically alter subjects’ gut microbiota.

Cataloging metagenome-assembled genomes and microbial genes from the athlete gut microbiome: Research unveils potential athlete-associated microbiome patterns at both the phylum and species levels, along with their associated microbial genes, across a diverse array of sports and individuals.

Host response to cholestyramine can be mediated by the gut microbiota: The research indicates that the gut microbiota has a role in the beneficial effects of cholestyramine and suggests specific microbes as targets of future investigations.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the authors, reviewers, and editorial team for their invaluable contributions to this issue. We hope the content inspires and informs researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals worldwide.
